Cincinnati Pedestrian Accident Lawyers

Cincinnati, like any other major U.S. city, is filled with pedestrians going to and from work, school, shops, restaurants, and a variety of other businesses and locations. Unfortunately, this creates a high risk for a pedestrian accident, which could result in severe injuries and possibly death.

If you have been a victim in a pedestrian accident, contact our skilled Cincinnati pedestrian accident lawyers for a free legal consultation. We can review your situation to find out if negligence caused your accident. If it did, we may be able to file a legal claim to obtain fair compensation for your medical bills and other expenses. We do not charge legal fees or other costs unless we are successful.

Why You Need a Cincinnati Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

The period after a pedestrian accident is often difficult and stressful. Victims may be dealing with painful injuries that could limit their mobility or cause cognitive problems. These issues could make it difficult or impossible to work, reducing monthly income and making it even harder to pay medical expenses and other bills.

Filing a lawsuit while dealing with these issues is a lot to ask from one person. Fortunately, our Cincinnati pedestrian accident lawyers are available to help you. We know how to conduct an in-depth investigation and gather important evidence to build a solid case to help prove the accident was caused by another's negligence.

We can work with medical experts and accident reconstruction experts to further bolster your claim and demonstrate the role negligence played in causing your injuries.

We are prepared to negotiate an out-of-court settlement, but will not settle for any less-than-fair offers. We arrive to negotiations knowing what damages our clients have suffered and how much those damages are worth.

Finally, if a trial is necessary to achieve the justice you deserve, we have the resources and courtroom experience you need to have a chance of success.

Causes of Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrian accidents can happen in a variety of places, including crosswalks, driveways, intersections, parking lots, parking garages and major highways. They are often the result of car accidents, bus accidents, and hit-and-run accidents.

While some pedestrian accidents are caused by the negligence of pedestrians, many are caused by drivers who were reckless, not paying attention or violating traffic laws. We can help you fight for compensation if another’s actions caused your accident.

Common causes of pedestrian accidents we are experienced in handling include:

Driving over the speed limit

Violating the right of way

Disregarding traffic lights and signs

Impaired driving

Drowsy driving

Texting and driving

Using smartphone apps while driving

Using a GPS device while driving

Running red lights

Failing to check blind spots

Failing to watch for pedestrians in crosswalks

Common Injuries

Unlike motorists, pedestrians do not have the luxury of seatbelts, airbags or other automotive safety features. That means there is a high risk of severe injuries and even death when drivers strike pedestrians with their cars.

Severe injuries can include:

Lost limbs

Broken bones

Skull fractures

Paralysis

Internal bleeding

Spinal cord injuries

Back and neck injuries

Traumatic brain injuries

Road rash

Deep bruises

If you have suffered these or other injuries in a pedestrian accident, your first priority is to obtain medical treatment. This could prevent your injuries from worsening or causing more health problems.

As soon as you are physically able, contact our Cincinnati pedestrian accident lawyers to discuss what happened. If you are entitled to bring a claim, we can immediately begin investigating your accident, which could improve your chances of obtaining compensation.

Types of Available Compensation

Our Cincinnati pedestrian accident lawyers may be able to obtain various forms of compensation for your injuries and other damages from your accident, including:

Doctor's visits

Prescription medications

Surgeries

Hospital bills

Ambulance fees

Physical therapy

Rehabilitation

Mental suffering

Physical pain

Lost wages

If you lost a loved one, we may be able to obtain wrongful death compensation, including funeral costs, loss of companionship, loss of insurance and retirement benefits, and other damages.

We have a successful track record with pedestrian accident cases. We obtained $800,000 for a wrongful death claim filed by the wife and family of a man who was struck by a car and killed while standing behind his truck. We also obtained a substantial sum for a man who was severely injured after being hit by a car in a crosswalk.
